Just under 3000-4000 people are required per country in Lithuania, Latvia, Malta and Luxembourg. Come on now… that’s a small town and in some places even just a village. Are there really that few gamers in those countries?

    Sure, but look at what’s going on in Lithuania. They can’t get 2k people to sign the petition? Wth? Are there no Lithuanian gamers?

      Because every EU country has its own media and public discourse spaces, and no European Initiative ever manages to get attention in all member states. They usually focus on those member states where they have contacts and multipliers who can spread it

      I wonder if it’s a language issue? Lithuanian is only really spoken in Lithuania, which is quite a small country, and most Lithuanians also don’t speak another EU language (the most common second language by a wide margin is Russian). It might be that nobody has made a successful effort to publicise the campaign in a language that most Lithuanians know. The disclaimer here is that I don’t speak Lithuanian and cannot check

      Lithuanian here who signed the petition like a year or so ago.

      There’s a decent chunk of Lithuanian gamers, but social medias and spaces that they inhabit are primarily in Lithuanian language such as Facebook, Lithuanian gaming groups on Discord/TikTok and things like that. Rarely there are some odd Lithuanians like me who venture out to the English speaking web to sites such as Reddit, but there’s no guarantee the initiative will be found or if the person will care enough to sign it.

      Granted, take what I say with a spoonful of salt as I don’t actively seek out or look for Lithuanian digital spaces at all, this is based on my experience with friends and acquaintances.
